The earth takes 24 hours to complete one complete rotation about its axis. That is why there are 24 hours in a day instead of 36 or any other number of hours. If you go to some other planet, then this duration will vary.

How many minutes are there in one and a half days?

In one and a half day, there are 2,160 minutes in a day because there are 60 minutes in a hour, and there are 24 hours in a day and half of 24 hours (half a day) is 12, so 24+12=36, and 36(hours in 1 1/2 days ) times 60 minutes (total minutes per hour) equals 2,160 minutes in one and a half days. Step 1: 24x1/2=12 Step 2: 24+12=36 Step 3: 36x60=2,160 Your answer: There are 2,160 minutes in one and a half days.
